Abstract:
Orphan children are among the most vulnerable individuals who suffer the consequences of global crises and conflicts. Orphaned children in orphanages face a wide range of issues, including psycho physiological, social, and quality of life issues, as well as other health-related concerns. COVID-19 has killed over four million individuals worldwide and left at least one million children orphaned. A person under 18 loses a caregiver to COVID-19 every 12 seconds, and the toll continues to grow. In this systematic review, we have also told the problems of the orphans along with the orphans in the COVID-19 epidemic. Children in orphanages, for example, are especially prone to COVID-19 infection because they are institutionalized and lack mobility. They also live in close quarters with unavoidable contact. Higher preventative and control efforts are required in these areas. In addition, we presented prevention and control strategies for these institutions in this study, as well as practical suggestions for general measures, health management, personal protection measures, prevention measures in orphanages, respectively.
